Hi if you live in West Thamesmead this message is for you! I'm Steve Day the local Liberal Democrat candidate for West Thamesmead. It's our by-election on Thursday 19th Dec, so thought I'd introduce myself and what I stand for. #JournoRequest @greenwich_wire

The President of the Institute of Construction Management has condemned PAS9980 stating its dangerous. See below. We do not want this partial substandard and dangerous remediation standard being accelerated. Unacceptable. @PhilH23 @EOCS_Official @BldgSafetyReg

The Association of British Insurers have condemned PAS9980 as it means permanently high insurance post remediation. See below. We do not want this partial substandard and dangerous remediation standard being accelerated. Unacceptable. @EOCS_Official @BldgSafetyReg @PhilH23…

You can’t accelerate a process when no one can even agree on what the process is. Government needs to define remediation in law, insurers need to accept it, and developers need to be held to it. Anything else is noise. @EOCS_Official @dominicahern

Developers have been gaming loopholes for years. Without a binding definition of remediation, they’ll keep doing it. Acceleration means nothing if we’re accelerating the wrong thing. Set the standard first. @EOCS_Official @dominicahern

Insurers refusing to back the tolerable risk model tells you all you need to know. If the people pricing the danger don’t buy it, residents shouldn’t be forced to. We need a real definition of remediation before anyone talks about speed. @EOCS_Official @dominicahern

Hard agree. Until government, insurers and fire services actually align on what “remediation” means, we’re building on sand. Tolerable risk is only tolerable for people who don’t live in these buildings. Residents deserve clarity, not yet another fudge @dominicahern

Can we campaign for a ‘agreeing on what Remediation is plan’ before worrying about accelerating it? Insurers still don’t believe in the ‘tolerable risk’ approach, it doesn’t stop fire spreading and developers game it. This is a mess to big to sweep under the carpet @EOCS_Official

Grateful to the @Telegraph for covering the Polluter Pays Bill earlier in our campaign. It is now called the buildingsafetyscheme.org consumer protection legislation for buildings. We need it urgently to end this dangerous so called remediation standard PAS9980. It's been…

The appalling residential Hong Kong fire leaving 128 people dead was made even more deadly with flammable insulation around the windows according to @BBCNews. With the UK government watered down remediation standard PAS9980, highly combustible material that is banned on new…

The undisclosed risk to flat owners, banks, bond securitisations, bond holders and insurers is becoming more apparent as more and more building defects in UK blocks of flats are exposed. Life endangering defect rates* for 4 top UK builders range from 35% to 77% and a…

The government has protected the construction industry from the repercussions of 30 years creating buildings with dangerous defects: 1) By watering down the building defect remediation standard to allow highly combustible material to stay on buildings when the same material is…

Rev Richard Coles calls for the Earl of Lytton's buildingsafetyscheme.org consumer protection amendments to be tabled in the upcoming Remediation Bill to protect all 1.7 million excluded leaseholders from ruinous remediation costs. It will also end the partial post Grenfell…

With appalling life endangering defect rates in blocks of flats, a partial remediation standard condemning people to permanently high insurance and the need for consumer protection against building defects that operates outside of the courts as most of us can't afford 500k for a…

Grateful to the October 2025 briefing from the Association of British Insurers on the watered down PAS9980 building safety remediation standard which condemns innocent home owners to permanently high insurance allowing combustible material banned on new buildings to be retained…

The UK construction industry is broken, the government has limited the liability for 30 years of unlawful construction passing it onto flat owners, insurers, rating agencies and banks. With £432,000,000 worth of defects at just one development in London, 14,000 forced…

So even the insurers are warning that PAS9980 doesn’t protect buildings . That means homes remain risky and insurance stays sky-high. We urgently need proper consumer protection like the Earl of Lytton’s #PolluterPays Bill. @LibDemSteve

This what happens when elected politicians get involved with standards, both Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities and Home Office have their logos on #PAS9980.

The National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) and The Association of British Insurers have condemned the dangerous watered down PAS9980 remediation standard and the fragmented leaseholder protections which leaves 1.7 million exposed to ruinous remediation costs and millions more…

@NFCC_FireChiefs condemns government schemes to address post Grenfell building safety crisis. "Funding is fragmented and inconsistent. Current schemes often cover only cladding, which NFCC says is leaving other serious defects unaddressed. With multiple funding streams and…
